Hi
Can anyone please help me with a step by step guide to removing the driver front leather seat on an omega 2002 CD 2.6 as the heated seat does not warm up.
The switch on the dash illuminates but no heat from the seat. Passenger side is fine. I am worried about the air bag going off.
Also looks like the motor to lift the chair is seized. Just hear a clicking noise from it. any ideas how to repair please.

not sure about the heated seat
but i got my motor going again by tapping it whilst i had the button pressed

As for the heated seat, from what i've gathered from previous posts on this subject it is very difficult especially on leather to remove & repair/replace the heated pads as they are stitched in to the leather. I have heard mention of sliding in a third party heated pad & adapting the wiring, but someone who knows what they are talking about on the subject is needed :P
On the subject of the seat adjuster, have you checked that the mechanism is clear of obstructions such as coins, pens etc? it may be something as simple as that :y

Disconnect the battery half an hour before you unplug the wiring connectors at the seat. This will prevent any problems with the airbag.
Replacement of heat pads on cloth seats is pretty difficult, on leather seats its very difficult by all accounts. very few people attempt it. It might be better to try to find another seat ?

Both of my front ones don't work, they both pop the fuse... I could care less mainly because I like cold leather, even in the winter when it's 15*F out....However my back ones do work.

Thanks for everyone help, looks like I have a challenge on my hands.
Before I start can anyone help with a wiring diagram and colour codes for the heat pads, motor and air bag.
Also where would be the best place to buy new heat pads which fit my leather seat.

The seat motor started working today!
Thought I would wait to see if the heated seats warmed up but no joy. Looks like I will need to strip the seats to get to the pads.
It appears no one else has ever tried to do this on leather seats?

I fixed my Omega's & Senator's seat before it by the simple removal of an inch or so of burnt heater element from the heater pad. Take the seat out & have a look ...... you may be lucky :y

I wonder if anyone can help please
My drivers leather front seat does not heat up but the passenger's works fine. I have a 2002 facelift 2.6 Omega. I suspect it is the heat pad. I need to understand what colours and purpose of each of the connector blocks under the seat (I think I have seen yellow, brown, green and black) before I disconnect anything.
Also if I disconnect the airbag one hour before I start the job, will this avoid the air light bag warning light needing to be reset?
Any help would be much appreciated

Just a note of caution. With the air bag disconnected don't turn the ignition on.
If you do it will result in the air bag warning light coming on a staying permanently on.
You will need Tech 2 or similar to reset it. I speak from experience!!
